A Christmas Carol
by Charles Dickens (excerpt)

Beware them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy, for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased. Deny it!” cried the Spirit, stretching out its hand towards the city. “Slander those who tell it ye! Admit it for your factious purposes, and make it worse. And bide the end!”
The Book of Proverbs, 1:20

She speaks her words: “How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity?
For scorners delight in their scorning, And fools hate knowledge.
